Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin purée

½ cup apple cider or apple juice

½ cup light brown sugar

1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

Pinch of salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine Ingredients – In a medium saucepan, stir together the pumpkin purée, apple cider, brown sugar, maple syrup (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Simmer Slowly – Set the pan over medium heat and cook until it begins to bubble. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even thickening. The mixture should darken and become thicker as it cooks.
  3. Step 3: Add Vanilla – Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to finish the flavor.
  4. Step 4: Cool and Store – Let the pumpkin butter cool for 15-20 minutes. Transfer it to clean jars or airtight containers and refrigerate. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.

Notes

If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture after cooking with an immersion blender.

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or cloves for a spicy kick.

You can also use honey or coconut sugar as a natural alternative to maple syrup or brown sugar.
